That was a drum - 100 round plus - to be able to fire that long non-stop.

I don’t see the tripods mentioned. We only have images of 3 (4 including the revolver) weapons at this point. Need to see more.

Is that a smaller round? 3.23 for example...

Used to have some 30 round magazines for 7.62 ammo., that were twice as large as those.

See my post above in this thread. The hotel windows open 4-6 inches. Possible to shoot out without breaking the window on the 4th floor.

Nothing about Vince Foster was believable. Found in the muddy woods with not a speck of dirt on his shoes.

The Bataclan killers murdered the survivors up close and cut off the penis of one surviving victim

OMG! What a horrible thing to do.

Such evil in the world.

The fact that weapon wasn’t in the midst of the shells, tells me it wasn’t likely the gun used.

I guess it could have been flung aside though.

Wow. Just wow. Looking at that photo of his setup you realize there is no way this wasn’t a terror plot. Whatever his reason, this was a meticulously planned terrorist attack. This was no tumor, bad break up, or snap.

Daniel Defense gun there. (DDM4). Semi-auto. I guess he modified it?

He owned 3 planes.

Would he have flown into he crowd after loading up the plane with gas and whatever bomb making materials they found and killed more people?

If so, why use the guns?

He had an arsenal in the room. Weapons, bullets. In a hotel. Presumably the “NO SERVICE NEEDED” sign was out on his two doors? And he lucked up that no manager or staff members checked the room while he was gone?

Interesting. I’m really glad to get some input from someone with experience in this. This is the cab video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5wtLXiqwHQ

I hear “close” shots at the 3 second mark, with echoes.

Then I hear “far” shots at about the 45 second mark, with no “close” shot before it to make it an echo. Camera in the same position, no change in location.

Then, the “close” shots again at about 1:09.

The sound changes as that 1:09 series of shots continues on, because the cab begins moving at that point. Someone might argue that is the sound of two different guns overlapping, but I think the change in sound there is because the cab moves and the camera/mic moves. Nevertheless, the sound doesn’t drop back down to the level of the 45 second “far” shots.

In your opinion, that difference in sound between the 3 second mark and the 45 second mark is from different guns?

Bump fire stock modification.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/03/whats-the-bump-fire-stock-that-the-vegas-killer-may-have-used-to-killed-59-people/

One of the weapons (possibly two) were full auto though. Read that somewhere. Might have been the AK as those are easy to modify. He had one to fire at hotel security and lightly armed police.

Two officers were on his floor within 10 minutes. They held back and waited for SWAT to arrive - though every mass casualty training protocol course tells LEO to engage immediately. Took 72 minutes from start to finish. That’s forever.

In my opinion yes, or of a slightly different position with different reverberation (one window versus the other).

Are those echoes? Certainly sounds like different distances in the firing.

We’re in the Dealy Plaza Zone if we’re trying to figure that out. Might be audio forensics at this point that could tell us.

He owned 3 planes.

I think that is an important point. It he really wanted to kill as many people as possible, mass casualties, he could have loaded his plane full of fuel and slammed it into a football stadium full of 70,000 people. If your sole intention to is kill a lot of people, that seems like the more destructive route.

So using guns and targeting this festival might have had a more personal reason to him. Or there was some other factor that went into his planning that we aren't aware of, yet.

Or maybe he kept some hope in the back of his mind that he was going to find a way to escape as he was planning all of this. Maybe he couldn't commit himself to full suicide until the end.

Gotta love the Photoshopped version in the Liveleak comments section - where the dead shooter is wearing a “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Hillary!” button.

He knew it was a suicide event going in. Firing automatic weapons and murdering dozens of people. He had the pistol there to finish himself off.

So if he’s going for body count, why use the guns?

Even targeting that event, a plane would have killed more people that the rifles.
